Young culture will accept the Metaverse first

Younger people are spending energy, time and money forming relationships in virtual games and environments.

The metaverse is bringing forth a new horizon of unimagined possibilities to create new experiences, environments, and relationship for consumers. Through combining various technologies and data to create value for people. These virtual interactions can take the form of virtual reality (VR), gaming, simulations, etc. for consumers. However, for business it primarily takes the role of collecting data and a greater understanding of its customers through the refinement and analysis of the online environments their customers best react to. Allowing for machine learning and AI to have access to more/better data to help create more value for the consumer.

But how will firms entice early adopters and who will want to explore the metaverse first?

Younger individuals under the age of 20 are looking to online tools to foster social relationships through increased time spent on social media, video gaming and VR simulators. Consider, with the advent of games such as Fortnight hosting live concerts in game with real celebrities’ younger people are open to virtual experiences. In fact, with the added flexibility and portability such events become cheaper, more practical, easier to attend and global.

Online events compounded added value only when the consumers induvial perception of a real event does not differ from a virtual experience. If the statement before holds true, the online environment is immersive, social, allowing for creative expression and individualization. From a business perspective, if organizations can provide a great experience through events and emotions, consumers will buy in game cosmetics, items and devote time in return to further enhance their experiences.

Pointing to younger individuals to be the catalyst, first in video games and latter in social online metaverse experiences. Potentially providing a new possibility for business growth. At its core its simply about giving more of your business time to a consumer through augmenting the experience to becoming more available, reachable, and easy to deal with. Generating more value on top of the base offering.
